in tropical cyclone frequency. Sea-level rise: Increases in mean sea-level threaten to inundate agricultural lands and salinise groundwater in the coming decades and centuries. Sea-level rise will also increase the impact of storm surges which can cause great devastation. Health and nutrition: Climate

a ‘business as usual’ greenhouse gas concentration scenario (RCP 8.5) and a ‘middle of the road’ socio-economic scenario (SSP2). The numbers of people flooded along the coast due to sea level rise are calculated per country and the values listed below correspond to a medium ice melting scenario

content. The 18 lowest Arctic sea-ice extents on record were all in the past 18 years. The three lowest Antarctic ice extents were in the past three years. The largest three-year loss of glacier mass on record occurred in the past three years. The rate of sea level rise has doubled since satellite

. Climate change projections over land Marine climate change projections Projected sea level rise projections at four UK capital cities by 2100 relative to 1981-2000. UKCP18: Marine climate change (PDF - 442kB) Probabilistic and sea level projections Key results from the probabilistic projections

Projections UKCP18 provides new projections of time mean sea-level rise and extreme water levels for the UK coastline. Observations UKCP18 includes a comprehensive set of observations of weather and climate covering the UK, with some the records extending back more than 150 years. Examining observations enables us to place the model simulated climate into context.

in tropical rainfall, increases in winter storms over Europe, and sea level around the North Atlantic basin could rise by up to half-a-metre more (on top of the sea level rise expected from other factors caused by global warming). Figure 1: An illustration of the AMOC and its place within large

representation of the North Atlantic storm track 3. a set of downscaled project i ons of weather at a resolut i on of less than 5km and dr i ven by the global model. This is designed to provide an improved simulation of extreme weather. 3. Sea level rise projections This will include new est i mates of reg

Met Office climate webinar series 2023 Background A climate tipping point refers to a critical threshold when global or regional climate change causes changes from one stable state to another stable state. Examples include the melting of the Arctic ice sheets leading to sea level rise or rainforest

Antarctica and northeast Greenland are potentially more sensitive to climate change than first thought 8 . Recent research shows the potential for rapid collapse of the west Antarctic ice sheet, contributing up to a metre of additional sea level rise by 2100 and more than 15 metres by 2500 under a low
